Logicomix (2009)

The rare comic about mathematics itself. Bertrand Russell narrates his own search for a perfectly secure foundation for math, and along the way you meet Frege, Hilbert, Wittgenstein and Gödel and learn why that search ran into a wall. Apostolos Doxiadis and the computer scientist Christos Papadimitriou wrote it, with art by Alecos Papadatos and color by Annie Di Donna, and they put themselves in a present-day Athens frame arguing over what the story means. That argument is the clever part: it tells you which ideas are settled and which are still a matter of taste. It works for readers of any mathematical background, though readers who enjoy paradoxes will get the most from it.
